JUNE 28, PEPPERELL, MA

Dear Friends,

How far would you go to help eradicate breast cancer? Would you jump out of an airplane? I know I would - and I hope you will too!  

As many of you know, I will be participating again this summer in the Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. After training for the next few months, I'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men.  Our mutual friend, Jackie, has inspired me to take this incredible journey, and I will be walking again in her honor and support.

In order to help reach my fundraising goal, I am organizing my second SKYDIVING fundraiser! Have you ever dreamed of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 13,000 feet? Has skydiving been one of those things you've always thought about but never got around to doing? (Or are you just crazy like me?) Well you're in luck! You can fulfill that life-long dream of yours *and* help raise money for breast cancer research.

WHERE: *SKYDIVPEPPERELL, 165 NASHUA ROAD, PEPPERELL, MA*

WHEN:    *SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. till sunset*

www.skyjump.com

Check out Skydive Pepperell's website for more information on tandem jumping, pictures, etc. etc. What better way to support the cause and experience more exhilaration than you ever have before in your life!

Please email me at chaosreins@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us for this exciting day.  I will send you details on pricing and answer any questions you might have.  Spectators and supporters are encouraged!

I look forward to hearing from you,

Audrey

July 5 – 6, Durham, NH.  New England Center to host Civil Union Weekend

 " Fourth of July weekend is a time to celebrate independence, and the New England Center Hotel and Conference Center is doing just that with a landmark event. Civil Union Weekend, highlighted by a grand ceremony featuring 20 same-sex couples, has been set for Saturday, July 5. In the wake of New Hampshire’s legalization of civil unions, which took effect on New Year’s Day, the New England Center Hotel & Conference Center is giving couples the opportunity to take advantage of a unique, benefit-laden package.  The ceremony will be held for 20 couples, and each couple can invite up to 25 guests. Ten guests per couple will be able to witness the actual ceremony in person. The price is just $3,000 per couple, and that includes a ceremony officiant and musicians, photographer and videographer (couples purchase their own proofs, photos and videos), an hors d’oeuvres reception and buffet dinner courtesy of the award-winning Acorns Restaurant, wedding cake, champagne toast, guest favors and so much more. Hotel accommodations for the guests of honor are included for Saturday night, and discounted rates will be available for out-of-town guests wishing to spend the night. Located in the heart of the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, the New England Center has been hosting weddings and corporate events for more than 40 years. It has built a reputation for accommodating its guests with an unparalleled attention to detail and steadfast dedication to making every event at its facility a memorable one.
